When did you first start writing?
My father wrote and had published short stories and I dabbled a little as I grew up, with his support. I did not start writing in earnest until 2009, although I had a short story read on the NZ radio in 1974.
What's the story behind your latest book?
I have just written a 'Medical Romance', covering the training and sexual adventures of three trainee nurses in the 1950's in UK. I drew on my training experiences( but not personal sexual adventures!) as a nurse in that era. It is about to be launched on eBooks. It is called 'The Nightingale Pledge' which is was a compulsory code of conduct in those days. One Nurse is middle-class and from a protected home; one is from a wealthy family and interested in anything in trousers, and the third is part NZ Maori who had had an illegitimate baby in NZ.
